BRIT HUME, FOX NEWS: Former Middle East envoy Dennis Ross has worked to achieve Middle East peace throughout President Clinton's final days in office. In the months following Clinton's failed peace summit at Camp David, U.S. negotiators continued behind-the-scenes peace talks with the Palestinians and Israelis up until January 2001, and that followed Clinton's presentation of ideas at the end of December 2000.

I will copy and forward this to a bunch of people.
You can't just assume that the truth speaks for itself, we have to make it known.
Both.
The world's media are almost to a man evil personified and are either Joeseph Goebbelsian promotors of and advocates for an elitist totalitarian agenda and/or are willing to say anything and to promulgate any lie uttered by any petty dictator and/or terrorist in order to gain access to the area occupied and/or controlled by the dictator and/or terrorist for the purpose, only, of driving the bottom line.
Intellectually and morally bankrupt bottom feeding bastards, for every last one for whom elevation to "slut" would demand a too-hard socially-upward leap.
Oh its much worse than that. They inherently hate what America stands for. Just as they won't ever mention what Arafat turned down, they had no problem SUPPORTING a president and associates who committed just about every crime you can name. They didn't bother to inform the American public about even a fraction of the allegations, which include election tampering and murder. Try and find a single lamestream media outlet that mentioned the Riady non-refund. You won't. Try and find a single lamestream media outlet that mentioned the opinions of the military pathologists in the Ron Brown case or what the x-ray of his skull appeared to show. You won't. The lamestream press is, in a word, controlled.
I know, I know, like the facts will ever get in the way of this bunch.

If the offer was that good it would have been shown so the world could see. I wonder what was said about the real bone of contention - the settlements. Yes Clinton was rushed to get back to Monica but many moons have passed by and Ross could have prepared the final offer map. No one would believe Arafat's version (dictated).
In the computer world when something is advertised as very good but isn't produced, it is called vaporware.
Even the cantons in the earlier plans would have disappeared as Pallies demonstrated peaceful intent. First auntonomy then Palestinian statehood.. ....Instead the lesson of Oslo is that the Pallies main goal is to arm themselves any which way they can and make war against Israel.

G*d D*mn Arafat to the lowest Hell.
I was impressed by Ross' clear recitation of events, and how he communicated his anger at Arafat for not only refusing the offer, but refusing to make a counter-offer.
When someone so clear-speaking and even-handed as Ross becomes obviously irritated, it is a large-lettered sign that someone has been an ass.
He mentioned the "thousands of hours of talks" and one can plainly see that he was no doubt one talking for thousands of hours--who would have the stainless steel stomach for that?
It was made abundantly clear that Arafat is a Jew-killer, not a peace-maker. And that Powell's urging Israel to release Arafat is exactly 180 degrees ass backwards.
Arafat cannot be party to any progress--which is not to say that progress is possible in the lifetime of anyone living.
Can you imagine John Wayne negotiating with Arafat?
